Lowering calorie consumption causes the body to use stored energy, promoting weight loss or maintenance. This can also improve metabolic health.
Reduced calorie intake leads to a negative energy balance, forcing the body to utilize stored energy (primarily fat) for fuel. This process results in weight loss or maintenance, depending on the degree of caloric deficit and individual metabolic rate. The reduction in calorie consumption can also improve metabolic health markers such as blood sugar and insulin sensitivity, leading to improved overall wellness.
